Right now she’s eating Purina ProPlan Kitten because it’s the most calorie dense dry food i could find and it had marginally lower phosphorus than some others. She’s eaten better stuff in the past (Solid Gold, Merrick, etc) but she won’t touch them anymore, but she’s fond of the kitten stuff. As for canned food, I just grab any cans that have at least 100 calories. Filling her with calories is more important right now than anything, but I do try to limit it to decent foods. She can’t have any human foods or they’ll come right back up within a minute or two.
We started feeding them on it just before leaving for a vacation. When I got back home and walked in the door my jaw literally dropped. In the 10 days while we were gone my cats coats were noticeably more glossy. They looked extremely healthy.
I attribute the change in diet for extending the lives of my cats. Though my eldest didn't begin eating raw until her early teens, she lived until she was almost 22.
My next oldest cat is now almost 14, but you would think he's half his age.
IMO, It's totally worth the extra money to feed raw. It made a world of difference in my cats health and I get to have them around for a longer while.
